BABY-COACH OR GO-CART.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 699,881, dated May 13, 1902.

Application filed August 281 1901. Serial No. 73,557. (No model.)

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a portion of the frame of a baby-coach con;

structed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 represents a sectional view thereof, taken on the line m w of Fig. 1.- Fig. 3 repre- '2o sents a perspective view of a coupling-block for joining the axle, springs, and reach. Fig. 4 represents a perspective View of the end portion of the reach.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a portion of the frame or body portion of a babycoach, being supported by the springs B. The inner ends of these springs overlap, as shown 0 in Figs. 1 and 2, and being joined by the devices hereinafter described. Mounted upon the axle C is a coupling-block D, (shown in detail in Fig. 3,) that is provided with the side flanges E, that embrace the sides of the axle, as shown in Fig. 2. This block rests upon the top side of the axle and is provided with a socket formed by flanges F and G to receive the ends of the springs B, while a bolt H passes through the ends of the springs, the couplingblock, and the axle and firmly connects these parts. At the outer end of the block is an overhanging arm J, that is curved and under which the cylindrical end portions K of the reaches L extend, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

The extremity M of the reach L is down wardly and inwardly deflected, so as to fit closely under the spring B, to which it is bolted, as shown in Fig. 1. In this way the spring, axles, and reach are firmly joined, while the reach is connected directly with the spring, thereby providing an approved connection between-these parts.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a coach or go-cart, an axle, springs secured directly thereto,handle-reaches secured directly to said springs approximately at the juncture of said axle and springs, and aframe or body portion secured to said springs;

2. In a coach or go-cart, an axle, a couplingblock secured to said axle, springs secured to said coupling-block, handle-reaches secured directly to said springs approximately at the juncture of said coupling-block and springs and braced upon said coupling-block, and a frame or body secured to saidsprings.

3. In a coach or go cart, an axle, a couplingblock mountedthereon and havinga socket, springs mounted in the socket of said coupling-block, means connecting said springs, coupling-block and axle,- reaches connected directly with said springs and braced upon said coupling-block, and a frame or bodyportion secured to said springs. v

4. The combination of a frame of a coach, springs for supporting the same, an axle and a coupling-block mounted upon said axle,said springs, coupling-block and axle being secured together, an overhanging arm at one end of said coupling-block, and a reach fastened .under and engaged by saidarxnand provided with a deflected end portion secured to said springs.
